Picture has my other blog's tags on it..but oh well.
That is an illustration I did for Dr. McCafferty at the University of Calgary. It was an outline drawing of a vessel from Cholula, where the photo wasn't good enough for publication.
It also seemed that the single photo was from the early 1900's and no others were around. Where the actual vessel is, I'm still not sure!
Regardless, I had to restore / recreate part of the image on the vessel, using what I know about images used in mesoamerican cultures, and their tendency to like things being pretty mirrored and things. I could use one of the heads on one side to fix the opposite side. 'Pretend you're Mexican' My instructions went something like that.
Awesome!
